NYCC09: Batman: The Brave & The Bold Panel

Batman Brave & The Bold Panel

The panel was fun and had a decent turnout of about 75-100 people. The creative team discussed the style of the show and said they were influenced by the late 50s and early 60s style and that when they accepted the project they wanted to make sure it was different then earlier incarnations of the character. The crowd generally seemed to like the tongue in cheek humor of the show and Phil Morris who will be voicing Jonah Hex in an upcoming episode was sporting an Alex Ross Martian Manhunter shirt and was enthusiastic about his involvement in the series and in DC Animation in general.

NYCC09: MARVEL ULTIMATE BOOKS ALL CANCELLED

The King of “actin’ Skrully” is at it again! Not satisfied to ruin just the regular 616 Marvel Universe, he’s now set his devil magic on Marvel’s Ultimate Universe. Stan help us all.

Who Do We Trust?

Not you.

NYCC 09: Cup O’ Joe Panel

The Cup O’ Joe panel focused primarily on Ultimatum and the cancellation of it’s books. It had been fairly well known that Ultimate X-men and Ultimate Fantastic Four were getting canceled but shocking was the news that the whole line was being canceled. Brian Michael Bendis acted out fake shock about Ultimate Spider-man’s fate and then they revealed the plan was to relaunch Ultimate Comics. A new line that will have 4 titles. Only a new Ultimate Spider-man and a new Ultimates was confirmed which was referred to twice as Ultimate Avengers. It was unclear if that was intentional or not.
